Hello LilyPonders,

I'm having a problem shaping ties of chords after more than one measure.  I have an internal voice that comes in on the third measure and the ties go right through it.  \shape doesn't seem powerful enough to handle this (at least I don't know the syntax).  Here's what the measures should look like:

Modifying control-points of individual ties in a tie column isn't possible without extraordinary means.   This is the reason for \shapeTieColumn which you'll find in the archives and on openlilylib.

Best,
